Female Bandit Chief.

A band of highway robbers was the Other
day brought before the high court of Pull
tava. at the head of which stood a noble
lady by the name of ~Rustanovitch. The
band was exceptionally we'll organized and
appears to have been extremely difficult to
obtain a membership, every intending
member having to undergo a severe ex.
animation by the lady chief, who appor
toned his work to each. Nine. Rustano.
witch was, in the widest sense OF the word.
the head of her people, who blindly obeyed
all her orders. She distributed the work,
had agents who sold the results of the
work and divided the spoils equally be.
tween them, keeping, however, the
lions share for herself. The
headquarters of the band were on the
banks Of the Dn1eper. in the department oi
the Pultava, and the police had for some
years tried unsuccessfulIy to capture the
bandits, the efforts of the most skillful de
~tectives being frustrated by the splendid
organization. The final capture wal due
to the treachery of a member. All the
members, as we'll as the daring lady chief
presented a bold front to the authorities,
and were all OF them condemned to terms
of imprisonment.-Pall Mall Gazette.

is generally understood that every county
officer has q pass on the roads OF the Ter
ritory. Is it likely that the acceptance OF
these passes places our officials under obi
cations to the corporations to such al ex-
tent that they will be blind to justice?
The chief burdens of the citizens are put
upon them by corporations which seem to
be able TO escape ~three-fourths Of their
share Ut the taxes. This looks bad. and
is unnecessary, as the roads could pay
their full share of taxes and be reimbursed
by a simple turn of the wrist, as all that
is a readjustment of rates which the peo-
pie always have to pay. l am q friend Of

shortsighted as to rob the dear people be-

just as well when they are asleep.

Aiming the Militia.

Adjutant General Turner arrived in town
from Helena on Sunday. He has just got
back from a trip to Tacoma, and has no
news as to the colonelcy of the First Regi.
ment. He said that on June 3Oth a requi-
sition had been sent to the War Depart
ment for about SIT, 900 OF military sup
plies, and the requisition had been returned
with instructions to scale it down to
about $2.764, the amount to which the
Territory is entitled under the Congress
sional appropriation. The principal need
OF the militia is arms. and the a%ppropria-
ton will be taken out in guns and cartridge
belts. The General says that in the course
OF two or three years the militia will be
completely supplied in this respect. Gen
eral Turner is in town on legal business in
attendance on the present session OF the

THE COURT.

Jack Rowand Cots . Change of Venue to
Deer Lodge County-Other Cases Dis
posed of.
The District Court convened yesterday
for the August term, Judge Galbraith pre-.
siding. The first ase on the docket was
that against John A. Rowand. for q change
OF venue to Deer Lodge County. He il
charged with the murder of Joe Bussiere
at a saloon on Park street last spring,
under circumstances that have inflamed
the resentment of the entire community
against him here. County Attorney De
Witt and Messrs. Mcbride & Haldorn ap-
peared for the prosecution, and ex-Delegate
TooIe and W. Y. Pemberton for the defence.
The latter submitted the motion for
change OF venue, and in support presented
the affidavitl of thirty-three responsible
citizens OF this city and county, expressive
of the opinion that the feeling in the COM
munity against the defendant was too
strong to admit of a fair and impartial
trial here. The prosecution presented no
obstacles to the granting of the petition
and the change OF venue to Deer Lodge
County was accordingly granted, where it
will come on at the November term. Row
and formerly resided in Deer Lodge County,
and, without anticipating the verdict, it is
extremely doubtful if the change of venue
will benefit him to any extent.

The Hill Railroad.

Inquiries are made why the road to the
mines and mills on the hills about Walker
vile is not pushed to completion with a
little more activity. The trestles are
completed and the road graded and tied.
All that remains is simply to lay the rails
and that is generally the easiest part OF
the WORK. The saving to the companies
on the hill is a very valuable one as it
costs $1.76 q ton to haul coal and salt to
the mills up there and they use i'm mense
quantities of these as we'll as wood.
